But they couldn't do it for Apu... Cowards.

Originally, "literally" was never a word but through thousands of years of evolution and adaption it came into being, miraculously, as the "literally" we all knew and loved between the time of our birth and 2006.

When "literally" quite literally evolved a new meaning in the 1800s used for emphasis to replace the empty definition slot left by the dropping of the the 15th century meaning of "in regards of letters or writing", many of Literally's fans jumped ship.

These days Literally wanders from town to town, playing gig off of the commonly used meaning with the salt of the earth types, while from the ivory towers comes but spit and scorn.

But you can help, for as little as 2.50₩ a month you can help finance Literally's return tour as being used to mean "with or regards to letters or words" and help elevate this star from hard times of having to rely on the plebians for usage. After all, is not a frequency band of 5, but exclusive use by academics not more worthy than band 6 used by all? If you agree, your views, snobbery, and financing can make all the difference.
Help a word stick to it's archaic meanings today. Because if the world isn't like it was when you were 15, is it really worth living in?

While on average assaults and violent crime are lower in Budapest, I'm not sure that that will hold true when comparing the experience of gender non-conforming folks in those cities.

So, some infinities are bigger than others.

How many numbers are there? An infinite number.

How many even numbers are there? An infinite amount, but half the size of the first infinity.

This is how there are empty rooms in the infinitely large hotel with infinite guests.

Disregarding fictionality, it also includes moths, at least one plant, and maybe arachnids (and controversially perhaps, an ape).

That's appalling.

Being sentenced to death, or at best considered acceptable murder, for being family with a suspected friend of Hamas.

Why hasn't this been more widely reported or shared?

Far less inter-secular conflicts there before the WW1 promise of not dividing the region up amongst European empires was broken.

No, OP isn't arguing that.

OP is arguing that there are many ways of communicating in a language, including slang and various registers and dialects, and just because you and I don't understand all of them that's OK. They're still valid communication and not the same as stunted linguistic or communicative ability as the ability to communicate between people familiar with the slang or dialect is not stunted at all.

Less overt gore than some splatter fests mentioned already, but Martyrs was an incredibly intense, uncomfortable gorey watch.
